About this listen

After accidentally becoming Lord of Gloomwood Manor, countless enemies seek to kill Drake and take his title.

All he wanted was some beer and a pack of donuts. Instead, Drake got abducted, tossed into a fantasy world, and almost ritually executed by a pro-wrestler monk with performance issues.

After stabbing his rather idiotic kidnapper to death, he magically inherits the old fart’s massive mansion, servants, mountains of gold, and deadly magic powers... which would be great if it also didn’t paint a giant target on his back.

Now that he’s the Lord of Gloomwood Manor, enemies across the world want to claim Drake's life and title. Before that happens, he must learn to use his powerful magic, win his people’s loyalty, and fake being powerful until he actually becomes so powerful no one dares challenge him.

The first volume of a humorous adventure fantasy featuring cat girls, battle maids, political machinations, and a habit of setting the worst isekai tropes on fire and tossing them in the garbage.

murder attempt failed

kidnapped to another world and nearly murdered, the MC turns the tables and becomes the Lord of the manor with loads of blood pacts that allow him to control his subjects. which goes against every thing he stands for. navigating his way out of this situation with out losing his head is going to take all the creativity he has. starts off slow but develops well in the end.

great first book

I love the world that's being built, I like the mcs humor, he's very sarcastic and witty. he's not the most intelligent with his witt and I could see people not enjoying it. but the world building here is really special. the magic system is quite unique. I can see this turning into a good series

Maybe Someday

Can't return so a review it gets. Maybe someday I'll try and struggle through more of this book but for now it goes to the discard pile. The Narration is good but after several hours of listening, nothing is happening besides lots of disbelief about being in a new world followed by culture clashing over magical pacts and lying. Every chapter title is pretty much a punch line of sorts as well which is mildly distasteful.

...was NOT expecting that...

I have to say I've read more that a few litrpgs and each one likes to add in their own twist to add a new angle on things, ya know? sometimes it works, sometimes it falls flat.
OH MY GOSH THIS IS A KEEPER!! I can't say this concept didn't cross my own mind for a story growing up, but, as I said, you have to figure out a way to make it WORK!! and IM SO EXCITED THAT THIS WORKS!! with his completely sarcastic and back biting nature, a world like this is a treasure trove of possibly!!!

It's only okay

Too much thinking and too little action for my tastes.

I was given this audiobook for free and have voluntarily left this review.

A Snarky Take on Chivalry

Warning! Not a Regency Romance ;). Thoroughly enjoyable world hopping adventure loaded with likable characters doing interesting things.
